VickySilver Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Thanks for the pictures as I was about to share, but covered nicely. Back to the OP: some have said that both the 1899 and 1919 dates have a final "9 over 8". I am not at all sure that they are not artifact even though I have purported examples of both. LOL. Might be worth a check but they would not be valuable in any case.... Quote
Peckris 2 Posted March 29 Posted March 29 The Geo V reverse ghosting is a fascinating topic. It’s rarely seen on halfcrowns which have a fairly deep and intricate reverse design, but often seen on pennies, halfpennies, sixpences, and shillings, all of which have a lot of blank space on the reverse designs. The first attempt to eliminate ghosting was on the ‘shallow portraits’ on 2/6 2/- and 1/- 1920-1926, and pennies 1922-1926, which partly succeeded, but not until the modified effigy 1925-26 was it nearly completely successful.
